FAQ

Due diligence cost calculator – questions

Where do the hours come from?

They are planning assumptions for a typical buy-side process, scaled by deal size. Replace them with your advisers' estimates.

Who pays for due diligence?

How can I reduce the cost?

A well-organised data room with a clear index shortens every workstream – and a flat-price data room removes per-page fees.
